This paper describes FCFoo, a RoboCup team developed at Linkk oping Institute of Technology. We use a reactive-deliberate architecture composed of four diierent layers. The layers represent diierent levels of abstraction and deliberation. The decision-making is based on decision-trees, nite automatas, and roles. As a result of the team development we have created a C++ library, designed for edu...

This paper proposes a three-layer model for the perception of emotional speech. Much of the earlier work has focused on the relationship between emotional speech and acoustic features that is characterized by statistics. The problem is that there lacks a model which takes the aspects of vagueness and human perception into consideration. In the model proposed here, five categories of emotion con...

The primitive endoderm arises from the inner cell mass during mammalian pre-implantation development. It faces the blastocoel cavity and later gives rise to the extraembryonic parietal and visceral endoderm. Here, we investigate a key step in primitive endoderm development, the acquisition of apico-basolateral polarity and epithelial characteristics by the non-epithelial inner cell mass cells. ...

Two distinct patterns of chimaerism were found in conceptuses produced by injecting dissociated 4.5-day inner cell mass cells into genetically dissimilar blastocysts. Pattern 1: donor cells were found in the endoderm layer of the visceral yolk sac, but not in the adjacent mesoderm layer of this organ or in the foetus itself. Pattern 2: donor cells were found in the mesoderm layer of the viscera...

Previous studies have shown that Philadelphia (Ph1) chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) results from the abnormal expansion at the pluripotent stem cell level of a single clone of hemopoietic cells. Although it seems likely that this is related to the heightened proliferative activity characteristic of primitive CML progenitor cell types, the underlying mechanism is unknown. In t...

When embryonic stem cells are allowed to aggregate, the outer layer of the aggregated spheres (referred to as embryoid bodies) differentiates into primitive endoderm. This initial specification of cell lineage facilitates further differentiation of the inner mass of the embryoid bodies. These processes are considered to recapitulate early embryonic development from the blastocyst stage to the e...

We provide a new property, called Non-Type-Preserving, for a mixing layer which guarantees protection against algebraic attacks based on the imprimitivity of the group generated by the round functions. Our main result is to present necessary and sufficient conditions on the structure of the binary matrix associated to the mixing layer, so that it has this property. Then we show how several fami...
